Short Version: Yes, it was nice enough that I would stay there again. Long version: It's right in the middle of the alt section, so great location. The staff was very helpful, and accommodating. This is an old Swiss hotel, so it's dated, but has lots of charm, especially the common areas and the breakfast room.
The staff is nice and helpful. The included breakfast was very good. My only complaint was the difficulty checking in at the front door. On Mondays the front desk was closed when we arrived. If I hadn't had a friend who spoke German and was able to obtain the code and assist me with entrance, it would have been very stressful.
In the middle of the city but very quiet. Nice stay

This is an old hotel with lots of character in the centre of the village. Due to its location, it's super noisy in the summer if you have your windows open. You need to have the windows open because the summers are very hot here. There are rooms with a courtyard view, ask for one of those if the noise bothers you. Unfortunately, when we asked to switch rooms and the night clerk couldn't have been more rude. The clerk we dealt with earlier said that there were lots of rooms available. However, the night clerk didn't want to tend to our needs at all and it was only 7pm. The next morning at breakfast, we were met with the same horrible rude staff in the dining room. However, the staff bent over backwards to any locals that arrived at the restaurant. Overall, this is a basic, clean hotel in a convenient area of the village. The staff need to work on their people skills.

Sentralt beliggende hotel i gamlebyen. Litt slitent og gammelt uten sjarmen mange eldre hoteller har
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt im Hotel Roter Turm. das Frühstück war gut, die Auswahl eher bescheiden. Es gab weder Rühreier noch Spiegeleier und auf der Käseplatte fehlte ein Weichkäse.
Great location, right in the city center of Solothurn. Bed could have been more comfortable but hotel has a nice vintage feel and the staff were so friendly and lovely. Would stay again!
The staff were very nice and helpful and the central location makes it very easy to get to and from. However, be aware the hotel is in the center of the old town right next to the bell tower and churches. The bells go off all night so I was unable to leave the windows open at night. That said close the windows and it’s quiet enough but there is no climate control (at least in my room) so in summer that could make the rooms very hot and stuffy at night.
Gutes, Zentral gelegenes Hotel.
Das Personal am Empfang war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Bien placé mais... vieillot
Hotel bien placé dans le centre de Soleure avec une jolie vue sur les toits de Soleure. En revanche, l'hôtel est passé de date, tout est ancien et "vieillot" (et que dire de la salle de petit déjeuner...). Pas au standard des hôtels actuels : le pommeau de douche est vieux, les rideaux et les lampes passés de mode...
Ma chambre, située au 4ème étage et donc sous la salle du restaurant gastronomique, était bruyante (heureusement le restaurant ferme à 23h), d'ailleurs des boules quies étaient fournies sur le lit à l'arrivée... La chambre est fonctionnelle (bureau, placard) et propre mais très petite (lit 1,5 place, SDB minuscule).
Pas de room service, pas de service de nettoyage à sec : je conseillerais cet hotel pour visiter la ville (et donc une ou deux nuits) mais pas pour un voyage d'affaire.
En revanche, le petit déjeuner est très bien, avec des produits diversifiés et frais et démarre à 6h30, ce qui est pratique.
